As in his previous books, Dempster responds to D.H. Lawrence's plea that we should discover and articulate what the heart really wants rather than some idealized version of it. Thoughtful, passionate, full of humour and self-aware wit, \u003ci\u003eLove Outlandish\u003c\/i\u003e delivers, again and again, the shock of recognition that permits us to laugh at, and with, the very emotions it probes. This is a book to relish for its energy and cherish for its wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"My favourite is the one where his love\u003cbr\u003ekeeps trouncing distance\u003cbr\u003eeven after she's gone, making\u003cbr\u003eharmonies out of death rattles.\u003cbr\u003eIt's the crack in his heart\u003cbr\u003ewhere the melody lingers, the hiss\u003cbr\u003eof an old 45.
